Image of Wine-throated Hummingbird

Description:

Between 1987 and 2005, I led more that a dozen trips to the El Triunfo Cloud Forest in Chiapas in search of Horned Guan and other species. One of the birds we always looked for was Wine-throated Hummingbird. In my field notes for this day I recorded we saw 4 different individuals of this species. The camera gear I had and dark cloud forest situation made photography of this tiny bird quite a challenge. These slide scans are all I have and they are cropped significantly. I am posting scans of some old, marginal 35 mm slides. gcwarbler had retained many boxes of some of my culled slides from 20-30 years ago. I have enough to keep me busy for a while with scanning, etc. (thanks Chuck….I think!). These will all be of records I had not posted to iNat previously. There has been considerable color shift in many of these slides over the years, unfortunately. Sorry for the marginal/poor quality of most of these but they are all I have.
